Michel D’Anastasio
has worked as an artist and calligrapher already for ten years.
His work is bearer of harmony of the hebrew letters, letters roman and abstract signs.
Approach to the creation of hebrew calligraphy
2004 to presence…
Michel profited of his stay in Malta short after the country of his ancestors celebrated joining the European Union to make the genealogical research. This was how he discovered the fact of one party of his family has been being of the Jewish origin.
During his voyage to Israel, some couple of months later, Michel found the admiration for hebrew culture. He is fascinated mainly by the Hebrew alphabet. After his return to Paris, he started study perseveringly as a self-thought in hours and hours per week... The letters are beautiful to work with them and Michel felt these artistic emotions in very beginning of his artistic journey. New world has been opened to him with its new palette of shapes and signs.
Michel discovered the cursive letters, much more lifeful, more free and modern. The primary admiration has transformed itself to the evident and careful will: to improve and to modernize mastery of outlines of hebrew alphabet as he likes and in the same way as he used to do with roman alphabet before.
Today, Michel takes the lessons of Hebrew to feel the meaning of signs aborning under his fingers much more strongly.
The work has become diverse quickly, Michel uses new materials to add on value of his works of art. Photographs of beautifully written letters and objects of decoration make great successful profit.
As an artistic director of the visual communication agency he creates logos and logotypes using calligraphic creations to build the graphic images, mural stickers and decorative lightening and lamps. His calligraphic creation: “Decomotions” was selected for publication of “Design and design.com - design book of the year 2008”
Michel D’Anastasio
43 ans, exerce comme artiste et calligraphe à Paris depuis une dizaine d’années.
Son travail porte sur l’harmonie des lettres hébraïques et latines ainsi que sur les signes abstraits.
2004 à aujourd’hui…. Approche de la création hébraïque
Michel profite d’un séjour à Malte, au moment où le pays de ses ancêtres fête son entrée dans l’Union Européenne, pour effectuer des recherches généalogiques. Il prend alors conscience qu’une partie de sa famille est d’origine juive. Au cours d’un voyage en Israël, quelques mois plus tard, Michel ressent une attirance pour la culture hébraïque. Il est notamment fasciné par l’alphabet hébreu. Dès son retour à Paris, il commence à étudier seul et assidûment, à raison de plusieurs heures par semaine… Les lettres sont agréables à travailler et Michel ressent les émotions artistiques de ses débuts. Un nouveau monde s’ouvre à lui, avec une nouvelle palette de formes et de signes.
Michel découvre la lettre cursive, plus vivante, plus libre et plus moderne. L'admiration initiale se meut en une évidente et farouche volonté : maîtriser les contours de l’alphabet hébraïque pour mieux le moderniser à sa guise, comme il l’avait fait auparavant avec l’alphabet latin.
Aujourd’hui, Michel prend des cours d’hébreu pour ressentir plus profondément la signification du signe qui nait sous ses doigts. Rapidement, le travail se diversifie, Michel utilise de nouveaux supports pour mettre en valeur ses œuvres. Les photographies des lettres calligraphiques et les objets de décoration remportent un grand succès.
1989 à 2004… Calligraphie gestuelle moderne
Après avoir étudié la calligraphie pendant 16 ans auprès de professeurs de renom, tels que Claude Médiavilla ou Kitty Sabatier, Michel d’Anastasio a choisi de s’échapper de l’écriture conventionnelle pour créer son style… Le geste est libéré mais précis… Le signe est roi…
Son style est né, unique, parce que Michel est gaucher et qu’il n’écrit pas avec des instruments traditionnels… A la plume, il préfère le Cola-Pen (récupération du métal de la fameuse boisson gazeuse, savamment découpé et plié en forme de couteau) ou le cure-dents en plume d’oie. Au travers des pigments de couleurs et de matières variées (gaze, sable, feuilles d’or, gomme arabique, aquarelles), Michel met en lumière de façon artisanale d’anciens textes maltais ; une façon pour lui de renouer sur la toile avec l’histoire de ses origines, dont ses parents lui ont tant parlé. Il faut regarder son travail de loin puis s’en approcher et l’observer de près pour percevoir encore plus la richesse et la beauté du trait.
Michel a alors l’impression profonde d’avoir découvert sa véritable voie et se sent en harmonie complète avec son signe calligraphique.
